SAMUEL HRZBERG, OF PONTIAC, ILLINOIS.

TICKET-HOLDER.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent lNo. 224,686, dated February 17, 11880.

Application filed November 20, 1879.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, SAMUEL HERZBERG, of Pontiac, in the county of Livingston and State of Illinois, haveinvented anew and Improved Ticket-Holder, of which the following is a specification. y

My invention relates to a device for holding the tickets on which are marked the sizes and other particulars of goods, pantaloons, and other clothing.

The object of the invention is to facilitate the `examination of the goods and clothing when a certain kind or size is required.

In the accompanying' drawings, Figure l is a front View of the device, showing the manner of holding the ticket. Fig. 2 is a longitudinal sectionlof the holder, taken on line m x of Fig. 1. Fig. 3 is a perspective view of the holder. Fig. 4 represents a pair of folded pants in dotted lines, with a tagholder, A, attached thereto.

Similar letters ot' reference indicate corresponding parts.

Referring to the drawings, the holder consists of a U-shaped clamp, A, having on its front side, a, the side and end edges, b b c, turned over parallel to the face ot' the front a, so as to form lianges for the reception of the edges of the ticket d, which is slipped in under the iianges from the bent end e. This ticket is held in the holder in the manner shown in Fig. l, and itis intended to contain the tigures indicating the size of the pantaloons, the price, or other marks.

The rear side, f, of the holder is provided with holes g g, and at its free end is hinged a v plate, 71 provided with pinsfi i. Hinged plate l1, is adapted to shut against rear side, j', and the pins fi pass through holes g and into the cloth B, and thereby fasten the holder to the cloth in the manner shown in Fig. 2.

My improved ticket-holder is applied in the following Way: Pantaloons, for example, are folded at the knee, as shown in Fig. 4, and thus folded they are piled upon one` :another on the shelves with the fold at the knees outside. The ticket-holder is attached by passing the edgej of the outside leg between the two sides af, so that the front side, a., with the ticket d, will face outward.

It is intended to lnake the holder of sufficiently stift metal to have it retain itself by its spring on the pantaloons; but if this should not be sufcient the plate lL, with the pins i, is employed, and said plates being` pressed down against the side j', pins t' passthrough holes g and into the pantaloons, and thereby fasten the holder securely.

When thus arranged the tickets are fully displayed, and the size of the pantaloons to which they are attached can be ascertained readily Without disturbing the pantaloons or disarranging them. J

Having thus fully described my invention, I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent- A tag or ticket holder consisting of the doubled plate of, the part a being provided with anges to receive the tag or ticket, and the part f having the perforations g, and formed with the recess or bend c between the two parts, in combination with the hinged plat-e la, having the pins z', `as shown and described.
